Final year tally
So despite my best efforts, I failed to see any new bird species after my last posting on 10th December. My final tally for the year was 216 birds, falling one short of last year’s total. Although this was disappointing, perhaps under the circumstances, it is a reasonable tally. Tier 4 restrictions were a late curve ball, preventing a dash to Reigate for the Ring-Necked Duck that could have just got me to the line. And of course if we had not had to cancel our holiday to Northumberland...
Here is a record of our totals since we started running a list in 2010
2010 125 species
2011 157
2012 163
2013 171
2014 182 Tim purchased his scope in July, which must have aided our species identification
2015 193
2016 204
2017 208
2018 216
2019 217
2020 216
Anyway, we had fun trying! Happy New Year to you all
